Valera M 500 Tablet 15

Valera M 500 Tablet is used in adults with type 2 diabetes to improve daily blood sugar control when lifestyle measures alone do not work well. It combines evogliptin and metformin, helping enhance insulin response while reducing glucose production. This combined tablet is also useful when switching from individual doses of evogliptin and metformin for easier diabetes management.

Here's how you should take Valera M 500 Tablet:

• Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor.

• Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

• Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.

• Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Valera M 500 Tablet is taken orally.

Valera M 500 Tablet contains two active components that work together to control blood glucose levels. Here's how:

• Evogliptin (5 mg): Evogliptin acts as a selective DPP-4 inhibitor. This means it slows down an enzyme called DPP-4, which normally reduces the concentration of certain hormones called incretins in your body. By inhibiting DPP-4, evogliptin increases these incretin hormone levels in your bloodstream, helping lower your blood glucose levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin is an antihyperglycemic agent that enhances tolerance to glucose in type 2 diabetes patients by reducing both baseline and post-meal plasma glucose levels. It works differently from other oral antihyperglycemic agents; it reduces glucose production in your liver and limits glucose absorption from your intestines while enhancing insulin sensitivity by promoting glucose uptake and use in your body's peripheral tissues. This means metformin helps your body to absorb and use glucose more effectively, without causing hypoglycemia or excessive insulin levels.

Together, these two components of Valera M 500 Tablet work in harmony to manage blood glucose levels effectively.

• Regular physical activity aids in managing type 2 diabetes by improving your body's sensitivity to insulin. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise every week.
